TONY's "Top Ten Things We Ate In 2008"

Time Out New York has released its rundown of the very best eats and drinks the lucky food editors have sampled in this past year. Which culinary delicacy found its way to the tip top of the list?

Drum roll please.....

Why, its the famed Porchetta Sandwich, at Porchetta. 110 E 7th St between First Ave and Ave A (212-777-2151). $9.

Says Time Out's editors: "In a city where designer pork inspires a fervent following, it takes some serious swine to stand out from the crowd. Porchetta has delivered just such a contender with its rendition of one of central Italy’s most hallowed creations: a whole, deboned pig laced with fennel and spices, then slow-roasted until the skin is a crackling shell and the inner flesh is basted with melted fat. When it’s served as a sandwich, the spongy bread soaks up the juices, making for a quick bite…and a porcine epiphany."
